The striking imbalance between disease incidence and mortality among minorities across health conditions, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) highlights their under-inclusion in research. Here, we propose actions that can be adopted by the biomedical scientific community to address long-standing ethical and scientific barriers to equitable representation of diverse populations in research.
在包括 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)在内的各种健康状况下,少数族裔的疾病发病率和死亡率之间存在显著失衡,这突出表明他们在研究中的代表性不足。在这里,我们提出了一些可以被生物医学科学界采用的行动,以解决长期存在的、阻碍在研究中公平代表不同人群的伦理和科学障碍。
